There are multiple different sites you can go to for training on AWS, and training towards getting the various AWS certifications. AWS has their own training, but outside of that probably best known is acloud.guru, and there are many others.

In your case, I would start with the AWS Certified Developer path (see https://aws.amazon.com/training/path-developing/), and then look at the Operations path (see https://aws.amazon.com/training/path-operations/). But the training and the certifications are only part of the picture. Speaking only for myself, I don’t really learn something until I have to do it for real, and especially if I then have to teach it to others. So, I would encourage you to try to find ways to actually use these tools in real-world scenarios.

In my experience, AWS doesn’t do a whole lot with Kubernetes. Sure, you can use it on AWS, but the more native AWS solutions are Lambda functions, and if you want to go with more classic containers, then you’d be looking at Fargate if you don’t want to manage your own container management system, or ECS if you do want to manage your own container management system. EKS is the AWS flavor of Kubernetes, but is not as common.
